“Again the 2006 pedigree shines through with its dark colour, intense perfume and elegance. The nose is a mix of beetroot, cherries and crème caramel. The flavours are rich and lush with black fruits and silky tannins. With airing the wine reveals characteristic flavors of boot polish, dark chocolate, flint, dried roses and lavender.” PETER FRASER, Winemaker

Reviews:

"Bright and jazzy, offering a riot of flavors, including plum, blackberry, floral and licorice notes that swirl through the finish against fine tannins. Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2014. 4,215 cases made. –HS

"Cadenzia is a name coined by the McLaren Vale wineries to describe their blended red wines; Yangarra’s 2006 version is 68% Grenache, 27% Shiraz and 5% Mourvèdre. The ripe plumminess verges on pruniness, accented by hints of cola and toasty, vanillin oak. This full-bodied but relatively unstructured wine should be consumed over the near term. J.C. (9/30/2008)

" Inky ruby. Cassis and boysenberry on the nose, with a vanilla bean quality gaining strength. Cherry-vanilla and dark berry liqueur flavors are broad and soft, turning sweeter with air. A real fruit bomb, with the material to support its fairly strong oak component. Finishes soft and broad, but with good cling. This won't make any converts among those averse to Aussie shiraz.
